Re: One little problem - it loses mail
by Antonio - Jun 27th 2000 22:42:13
I got that error using 1.0.28, but if you close Kmail, delete the
.folder.index file, and restart Kmail, all messages are shown up
correctly.

Kmail seems good
by Carl Winbäck - May 7th 2000 07:37:27
Kmail seems to be a good, and easy to use e-mail client. at least it's the
best I've found for X.

Re: One little problem - it loses mail

You are right certain incorrectly formatted emails would confuse KMail. The
message would be appended to the folder file on disk but the index file
wouldn't be updated correctly.
This is the critical bug that is fixed in KMail 1.0.29.1, I suggest
people use this instead of KMail 1.0.28.
As for having a large number of unresolved bugs this is also true.
However many of these bugs have been resolved in the development version
in the HEAD branch of CVS. Actually I decided to close bugs that have been
fixed in the developmental version, this resulted in 60 of the 100
outstanding bugs being closed.
As for the remaining bugs 40 bugs it's all public information and
people can check them out for themselves. If you look at the bug list you
can see why some of them are difficult to close (I don't have either a
Digital UNIX 4.0E or SGI Irix 6.x, machine for instance)
BTW Wyt thanks for reporting the bug, the development team has been
concentrating on the developmental version (in which this bug has been
fixed for a few months) and the stable version has been somewhat
neglected.

One little problem - it loses mail
by Wyt - Mar 12th 2000 21:52:15
Version 1.0.28 anyway, installed on two different systems, would
occassionally show blank email titles with no message attached. However,
deleting these, in turns out, was deleting email that it was having
trouble with, and the mail was lost. If you look at the kdm bug-tracking
system you'll see that kmail has a number of unresolved bugs, which is
understandable and even forgivable in a fairly young program - but losing
mail should never be tolerated in something widely distributed as part of
the kdm environment.
A long night testing all the email readers listed on Freshmeat produced
one that looks truly promising, with a fresh design and inventive features:
arrow. Others have interesting designs, but immediately apparent bugs, or
use nonstandard mailboxes, or are just plain ugly. Kmail isn't so ugly on
the face, and has fairly nice mail sorting (altho procmail is worth the
hour to learn, and more powerful) - but nothing's uglier than losing mail!
